"Watch."     Matt,  xxs 

1  A  charge  to  keep  I  have. 

A  God  to  glorify  ; 
A  never  dying  soul  to  save, 
And  fit  it  for  the  sky.    . 

2  To  serve  the  present  age, 

My  calling  to  fulfill. 
0,  may  it  all  my  powers  engage 
To  do  my  Maker's  will. 

3  Arm  me  with  jealous  care, 

As  in  thy  sight  to  live  ; 
And  0,  thy  servant,  Lord,  pre] 
A  strict  account  to  give . 

4  Help  me  to  watch  and  pray. 

And  on  thyself  rely, 
Assured,  if  I  my  trust  betray, 
I  shall. forever  die.

"Christ  died  for  our"  sins."     1  Cor.  xv . 
Auas  !  and  did  my  Saviour  bleed  I 

And  did  my  sovereign  die  ! 
Would  he  devote  that  sacred  head 

For  such  a  worm  as  I  ?

2  Was  it  for  crimes  that  I  have  done, 

He  groaned'  upon  the  tree  ? 
Amazing  pity  !  grace  unknown ! 
And  love  beyond  degree ! 

3  WeC  might  the  sun  in  darkness  hide 

And  shut  his  glories  in  ; 
-    "When  Christ,  the  mighty  Maker,  died 
For  man  the  creature's  sin." 

4  Thus  might  I  hide  my  blushing  face, 

While  his  dear  cross  appears : 
Dissolve  my.heart  in  thankfulness, 
And  melt  my  eyes  to  tears. 

5  But  drops  of  grief  can  ne'er  repay 

The  debt  of  love  I  owe  ;  • 

Here,  Lord,  I  give  myself  away, 
'Tis  all  that  I  can  do.    -  *

'King  of  kings  and   Lord   of  lords."     Rev.  xix.  16 

1  All  hail  the  power  of  Jesus'  name ! 

Let  angels  prostrate  fall ; 
Bring  forth  the  royal  diadem,  » 

.  And  crown  him  Lord' of  all. 

2  Ye  chosen  seed  of  Israel's  race, 

Ye  ransomed  from  the  fall  I 
Hail  him  who  saves  you  by  his  grace,' 
And  crown  him  Lord  of  all.

The  wormwood  and  the  gall ; 
Go,,  spread  your  trophies  at  his  feet, 
And  crown  him  Lord  of  all.

"Being  justified  freely  by  his   grace."     Rom.  iii.  24. 

1  Amazing  grace !  how  sweet  the  sound 
That  saved  a  wretch  like  me  ! 
I  once  was  lost,  but  now  am  found, 
Was  blind,  but  now  I  see.

'T was. grace  that  taught  my  heart  to  fear, 
And  grace  my  fears  relieved : 

How  precious  did  that  grace  appear, 
The  hour  I  first  believed. 

Through  many  dangers,  toils  and  snare? 

I  have  already  come  : 
'Tis  grace  that"  brought  me  safe  thus  far, 

And  grace  will  lead  me  home. 

And  when  this  flesh  and  freart  shall  fail. 

And  mortal  life  shall  cease, 
I  shall  possess,  within  the  va?l, 

A  life  of  ioy  and  peace.

"Fight  the  good  fight  of  faith'."     1  Tm.  vi.  12. 

1  Am  I  a  soldier  of  the  cross, 

A  follower  of  the  Lamb  ? 
And  shall  I  fear  to  own  his  cause, 
Or  blush  to  speak  his  name  ? 

2  Shall  I  be  carried  to  the  skies 

On  flowery  beds  of  ease  ? 
While  others  fought  to  win  the  prize, 
And  sailed  through  bloody  seas. 

3  Are  there  no  foes  for  me  to  face, 

Must  I  not  stem  the  flood  ? 
Is  this  vain  world  a  friend  to  grace, 
To  help  me  on  to  God  ? 

4  Sure  I  must  fight  if  I  would  reign, 

Increase  my  courage, Lord  !  |J 

I'lf  bear  the  toil,  endure  the  pain. 
Supported  by  thy  word. 

5  Thy  saints  in  all  this  glorious  war 

Shall  conquer  though  they  die ; 
They  see  the  triumph  from  afar, , 
By  faith  they  bring  it  nigh.

And  all  thy  armies  shine 
In  robes  of  victory"  through  the  skie3, 
The  glorv  shall  be  thine.

Thy  daily  course  of  duty  run ; 
Shake  off  dull  sloth,  and  early  rise 
To  pay  thy  morning  sacrifice.

Prone  from  my  Saviour  to  depart ; 
But  though  I  oft  have  him  forgot. 
His  loving  kindness  changes  not.

Soon  all  my  mortal  powers  must  fail ;

His  loving  kindness  sing  in  death.

And  often,  for  each  other,  flows 
The  sympathizing  tear.

"I  will  give  you  rest."    Matt.  xi.  28. 

1  I  heard  the  voice  of  Jesus  say, 

Come  unto  me  and  rest : 
Lay  down,  thou  weary  one,  lay  down 

Thy  head  upon  my  breast. 
I  came  to  Jesus  as  I  was, 

Weary,  and  worn,  and  sad, 
I  found  in  him  a  resting  place, 

And  he  has  made  me  glad., 

2  I  heard  the  voice  of  Jesus  say, 

Behold  Lfreely  give 
The  living  water,  thirsty  one, 

Stoop -down  and  drink  and  live. 
I  came  to  Jesus,  and  I  drank 

Of  that  life  giving  stream ; 
My  thirst  was  quenched,  my  soul  revived, 

And  now  I' live  in  him. 

3  I  heard  the  voice  of  Jesus  say, 

I  am  this  dark  world's  light, 
Look  unto  me,  thy  morn  shall  rise 

And  all  thy  day  be  bright. 
I  looked  to  Jesus,  and  I  found 

In  him  my  Star,  my  Sun ; 
And  in  that  light  of  life  I'll  walk, 

Till  traveling  days  are  done.

"  God  forbid  that  I  should  glory,  save  in  the  cross  of 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  by  whom  the  world  is  cruci- 
.  fied  unto  me,  and  I  unto  the  world/'    Gal.  vi.  14. 

1  When  I  survey  the  wondrous  cross 
.  On  which  the  Prince  of  Glory  died, 
My  richest  gain  I  count  but  loss, 
And  pour  contempton  all  my  pride.

2  Forbid  it,  Lord,  that  I  should  h 

Save  in  the  cross  of  Christ  my  God : 
All  the  vain  things  that  charm  me  most, 
I  sacrifice  them  to  thy  blood.    , 

3  See !  from  his  head,  his  hands,  his  feet, 

Sorrow  and  lcye  flow  mingled  down  : 
Did  e'er  such  love  and  sorrow  meet  ? 
Or  thorns  compose  so  rich  a  crown  ? 

4  Were  the  whole  realm  of  nature  min  \ 

That  were  a  tribute  far  too  small ; 
Love  so  amazing,  so  divine,  * 

Demands  my  life,  my  soul,  my  all.

"When  they  saw  the  star,  they  rejoiced  with  exceed- 
ing great  joy."     Matt.  i.  10. 

1  When  marshalled  on  the  nightly  plain, 

The  glittering  host  bestud  the  sky, 
One  star  alone,  of  all  the  train. 

Can  fix  the  sinner's  wandering  eye. 

2  Hark !  hark  !  to  God  the  chorus  breaks, 

From  every  host,  from  every  genf  ; 
But  one  alone,  the  Saviour,  speaks : 
It  is'the  Star  of  Bethlehem. 

3  Once  on  the  raging  seas  I  rode  : 

The  storm  was  loud,  the  night  was  dark  ; 
The  ocean  yawned,  and  rudely  blowed 
The  wind  that  tossed  my  foundering  bark.

4  Deep  horror  then  my  vitals  froze  ; 

Death-struck,  I  ceased  the  tide  to  stem  ; 
When  suddenly  a  star  arose  ! 
It  was  the  Star  of  Bethlehem. 

5  It  was  my  guide,  my  light,  my  all ; 

It  bade  my  dark  forebodings  cease  ; 
And  through  the  storm,  and  danger's  thrall, 
It  led  hie  to  .the  port  of  peace. 

6  Now,  safely  moored,  my,  perils  o'er, 

I'll  sing,  first  in  night's  diadem, 
Por  ever  and  for 'evermore, 

The  Star— the  Star  of  Bethlehem  !

1  When  shall  we  meet  again, 

Meet  ne'er  to  sever  ? 
When  will  peace  wreath  her  chain 

Round  us  forever  ? 
Our  hearts  will  ne'er  repose, 
Safe  from  each  blast  that  blows, 
In  this  dark  vale  of  woes, 
.     Never,  no,  never. 
'2  When  shall  love  freely  flow, 

Pure  as  life's  river  ? 
When  shall  sweet  friendship  glow 

Changeless  forever  ?

Take  us,  dear  Saviour,

There  may  our  music  swell. 
And  time  our  joys  dispel,

When  We  stand  with  Christ  in  glory, 
Looking  o'er  life's  finished  story,
